Title: Winding Machines for Winding Thread and the like.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER HAROLD GEORGE CRUI
IPC: B65H59/04
Filed: 1912-05-07
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 10,839. Fairweather, H. G. C., [American Thread Co.]. May 7. Stop-motions; tension arrangements; brake arrangements.-When the tension on the thread becomes abnormally great in winding-machines, a lever 16, engaged by the thread, operates a detent and releases a spring-rod 7, which inserts a wedge 5 between the spool and driving-drum, and releases an arm 21 so as to allow a spring 26 to apply a brake to the swift. The spool is also braked by a surface 6 at a point substantially ninety degrees from the point of contact with the driving-drum. The rod 7 may move after the brake is applied to the swift, the lost motion between the brakes permitting the application of both of them whatever may be the amount of thread on the bobbin. The thread passes from the swift to the spool through a guide-eye 32 on the lever 16, and a guide-eye on a carriage 28, which slides on adjustable guides 27. When the tension is abnormal, the carriage .28 is drawn up the guides 27 and prevents the tension from reaching the breaking-point before the length of yarn between the eye 32 and the spool is taken up. The tension due to the carriage 28 is adjusted by varying the inclination of the guides 27.

Title: Improvements in Friction Driven Variable Speed Gear.
Inventor: HUGHES LLYWELYN
IPC: F16H15/12
Filed: 1912-05-24
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 12,331. Hughes, L., and Lobb, W. Manderson-. May 24. Variable speed friction gearing. - In a disk-and-roller friction gearing of the kind in which the roller is made up of a number of parts having independent motion, the resultant motion transmitted by the roller being the mean of the several motions, the separate parts a of the roller, formed as parts of spheres of radius b, are connected to the roller shaft by balls d carried in a cage c secured upon the shaft by feathers g. The cage c may be so arranged as to be itself also one of the spherical parts of the composite roller. Ball - bearing thrust collars h are provided to hold the parts of the roller together. In one method of utilizing a roller such as described, the roller is mounted on the driving - shaft and engages a pair of spring-loaded disks which also engage friction cone-wheels or bevel-wheels, for forward and reverse driving, mounted on the driven shaft which is co-axial with the driving shaft, a clutch being provided to engage either conewheel with the driven shaft. In another method, shown in Fig. 4, a composite roller is mounted on each shaft and engages disks i loaded by means of a liquid under pressure supplied by pipes z. The disks are mounted on eccentrics x, which are moved by a handlever (not shown) so as to displace the axes of. the disks out of the plane containing the common axis of the rollers. The effect of this is that the rollers move across the disks, thus altering the speed ratio. In the position shown, the shafts rotate in the same direction, rotation in opposite directions commencing when one of the rollers crosses the axis of the disks i. As shown, the rollers are connected by a coupling 1, allowing freedom of rotation; a lever may be attached to the coupling to act as an outside indicator or to provide a means of assisting the traverse of the rollers.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Governing Mechanism for Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: G05D13/00
Filed: 1913-07-07
Granted: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 15,666. Warwick Machinery Co., [Vereinigte Dampf-Turbinen-Ges.]. July 7. Regulating. - The changes of pressure at an intermediate point in the high - pressure stages of a steam-turbine caused by the load fluctuations, are used to bring, automatically, the sleeve load of a spring - loaded centrifugal governor to its normal value after the governor has operated so that, for all loads, constant speed is obtained. The turbine a is supplied with steam through' the main valve b which is controlled by a centrifugal governor c through a pilot valve d and a fluid-pressureoperated servomotor e. The casing of the pilot valve is enlarged to accommodate a differential piston f connected by a spring g to the piston of the pilot valve. The upper side of the piston f is subjected to the pressure at the exhaust side of the first stage of the turbine through the pipe h, and the lower side is acted upon by the adjustable spring i, which opposes the governor spring k, and by atmospheric pressure or the condenser pressure. If the load on the turbine diminishes, the governor spring k is compressed and the pilot valve d raised, causing the piston of the servomotor e partly to close the valve d, the pilot valve being restored to its original position during this movement. The falling off of the load decreases the pressure at the intermediate stage, and the reduced pressure above the piston f releases some of the energy of the spring i so that the pilot valve is lifted against the action of the governor spring k and the piston of the servomotor e is further depressed so as to close the valve b still further. The spring i acting in opposition to the spring k to a greater degree at light loads restores the sleeve load substantially to its normal value and corrects the tendency of the governor to maintain at light loads a higher speed than is desired, When the load on the turbine increases, the increased pressure above the piston f reduces the opposition furnished by the spring i to the governor spring k.
